What is the name of your state? Nevada
I'm in a pickle. Back in February I helped my parents sell their car to a private buyer (cash sale). I was stupid and failed to take the license plates off the car. We filled out a bill of sale, but because the guy purchasing it was buying it for his niece, I left the original with him to get it signed by her then return it to me (I'm too trusting!). I had a partially completed bill of sale that I had kept for myself, but I think it got thrown away by mistake. I failed to followup with him after this and never got the bill of sale. So last week my parents got a delinquency notice in the mail from City of Las Vegas for an unpaid parking ticket. The parking ticket only had the license plate and not the VIN on it. I'm pretty sure our plates expired in March and the ticket was issued in May. I've tried getting in contact with the guy all week but he won't return my calls. I even talked to his business partner who gave me his phone number and said I could call him if I needed help getting things taken care of, but haven't been able to reach him since. I drove by the purchaser's house and the car wasn't there, but the house is for sale and I'm afraid he is going to skip town before we get things resolved. The buyer has the signed title, so I'm not even sure if we could register it as a stolen car. I have the purchaser's address (renting), his wife's name, his business partner's name (they are real estate agents), and two phone numbers for him. Should I attempt to send him a new bill of sale via certified mail with a self-addressed return envelope included and hope for the best? Should we register the car as stolen? My dad cancelled the insurance on it when it was sold, but the DMV was never notified it was sold. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
